Guides for Phone and Repair Shop Owners
Practical, plain-English guides for people who run or are about to open a phone, gadget or repair shop in the UK: how to start, how to keep stock records you can trust, how to price repairs and trade-ins, and how to choose software.
The guides are written by the team that makes Gadgets POS. They contain no invented statistics, any worked example is labelled as an illustration, and they are general guidance, not legal, tax or financial advice. Each shows when it was last reviewed.
Start a shop
What to decide before you open, whether you are repairing phones or selling them.
Run the shop
Keep stock records you can trust and close each day with figures that agree.
Price repairs and trade-ins
Build prices from your own costs, so repairs and trade-ins earn what you expect.
Choose software
Buyer's questions for a POS, and for running a shop and a website together.
